(countable, uncountable) Skepticism of neuroscientific claims.
As the neurologist and ethicist Eran Klein (2009) has pointed out, others have deployed the neuro-logism “neuroskepticism” in their quest to understand the turn to neurophilia, if not neuro-obsession.
[2012, Melissa M. Littlefield, Jenell Johnson, editors, The Neuroscientific Turn: Transdisciplinarity in the Age of the Brain, University of Michigan Press, →ISBN, page 202:Such fulmination is an extreme version of neuroskepticism: simply defined as a distrust of neuroscientific claims about any but the most technical of questions, along with a visceral rejection of any scientific enthusiasm from humanists.
